If you mean by three-valve manifold, then If you apply excessive pressure to your differential pressure transmitter, you could damage your instrument. This is known as over-ranging the transmitter. A three-way manifold valve is a device that prevents the instrument from being over-ranged. It also allows the isolation of the transmitter from the process loop (an option which could be used generaly for maintenance or re-calibration or fitting new equipment). It consists of two blocking valves and one equalizing valve. The blocking valves are for both high pressure and low pressure sides. During normal operation, the equalizing valve is closed and the blocking valves are open. When the transmitter is put into service, care should be taken to ensure that the high pressure is never applied to one side of the Differential Pressure Transmitter. To put a DPT into service using the Three-way manifold valve is to first close all valves. Then, open the equalizing valve to ensure the same pressure will be applied on both sides of the transmitter. Therefore you will have a zero differential pressure. Next, the high pressure block valve is opened slowly (to check for leakage from both sides of the transmitter). The equalizing valve is closed and this locks the pressure from both sides of the transmitter. Now open the low pressure block valve to apply the process pressure to the low pressure side and establish the working of the DPT.

A pressure differential switch, is a switch that reacts to pressure difference of two points, usually your supply & return side. If the pressure between these points are high, it then "reacts" notifying of pressure problem on the system.
The difference in pressure between the high side and the low side of a refrigeration or air conditioning system is known as the pressure differential. This differential is critical for the proper functioning of the system, as it indicates the efficiency of the refrigerant cycle. Typically, the high side pressure is significantly greater than the low side pressure, which is necessary for the refrigerant to absorb heat from the environment and release it effectively. The exact values can vary based on system design, refrigerant used, and operating conditions.
You would have to install a gauge on the differential vent, usually located at the top of the differential at the left side
Wet legs are used on differential pressure measurement where both sides are filled with liquid. Exception is level measurement in a pressurised vessel (boilers). Dry legs are used where the low side is exposed to atmosphere using a DP transmitter for level measurement in a open tank.
Differential pressure transmitters were originally designed for use in pipes to measure pressure before and after the fluid encounters a filter, pump, or another interruption in flow. Standard differential pressure transmitters come with two process connections arranged side by side to measure the drop in pressure (d) between the higher and lower points (H and L, respectively, in Figure 1). Classic differential pressure transmitters can also measure flow rates. It wasn’t long before people realized that differential pressure measurements could be used to determine liquid level as well.
High side and low side refer to the pressure in the ac system. Ie The high side is the high pressure line and low side is the low pressure line.
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
Red is the high side.. The low side is blue..
The compressor changes the low pressure gas into a high pressure gas which then has the heat of compression removed in the condensor to turn it into a high pressure liquid.
